Crockett v. Kelley

Filing 14

ORDER denying without prejudice 13 Motion for Relief. Signed by Chief Judge D. P. Marshall Jr. on 7/31/2020. (jak)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
PINE BLUFF DIVISION

THOMAS CROCKETT
ADC #080478

v.

PETITIONER

No. 5:17-cv-231-DPM

DEXTER PAYNE, Director,
Arkansas Division of Correction*

RESPONDENT

ORDER

Crockett has filed another Rule 60(b) motion.

Doc. 13.

He

argues that the law has changed since his 2017 Rule 60 motion and
that the Judgment in his habeas case should therefore be vacated.
Both Crockett's habeas petition and the merits of his last motion were
litigated in his 1987 case.

E.D. Ark. No. 5:87-cv-341-KGB.

And this

new motion is aimed at unwinding the habeas Judgment;

it doesn't

warrant relief from the 2018 Judgment and final Order in this case.

Doc. 8 & 9.

Crockett's new motion, Doc. 13, is therefore denied

without prejudice to his filing it in his habeas case if he so chooses.

* Dexter Payne is the Director of what is now known as the Arkansas
Division of Correction. The Court directs the Clerk to amend the
docket.

So Ordered.
